AXXS – Australian X-band X-Ray Source “SAC recognises the need to begin planning for the first major upgrade of the storage ring, which typically happens after about years of operation. This should be viewed as a high priority research project for the team.” – SAC Report Mar 2015AS diagnostic collaboration12

Lightsouce Strategy 18 Mar 2015AS diagnostic collaboration13 Estimated Beamline Capacity at AS: In use: 9 (6 ID, 3 BM1, 0 BM2) Capacity: ID 12 total, 50% usage (BM1 11, 27% usage) Build up the existing storage ring beamlines to full capacity (presently ~50%). Upgrade the storage ring with an MBA lattice with  < 1 nm rad, in the existing tunnel with the same source points. Build a 3 GeV x-band linac to inject a low emittance beam into the storage ring. Use a second x-band linac to generate a 6 GeV beam for an XFEL. Capitalise on local HEP support for a linear collider. Leverage international collaboration through the CLIC collaboration.

Advanced Accelerator R&D at Melbourne Uni Propose new X-band RF structure lab in the old 35 MeV betatron lab Initial investment $100,000 for low power, shielding in place Further $2M for high power Future RF photocathode development 18 Mar 2015AS diagnostic collaboration15 Steel/Pb Vault door 5 T crane

Motivation for new lab spread knowledge and ownership of accelerator development back into the universities attract students physically and psychologically remove R&D from operations, unlimited vault access increase the accelerators available for testing 18 Mar 2015AS diagnostic collaboration16
